Preparation

When I'm in The Pit, I have a computer at my fingertips every single second of the day. It's not that way at home. At home, I have to pull out the laptop, grind it into action, then get online via a dial-up connection. Once I'm online, I have several animals and Aunt Tudi pulling my attention away from whatever online task is at hand. I don't post to LJ as much at home and understandably so.

Tomorrow, I begin my last week in The Pit. It will also probably be my last week of mega-posting to my journal. I will have to keep notes inside my head and make longer and less frequent posts. And, to be honest, I won't have as much to write about since I will no longer be enslaved in The Pit. Like any good Sith, unhappiness, anger, and dissatisfaction drive and inspire me. After this coming Friday, I will no longer have that.

$0.49 a pound

That's mind-bogglingly cheap, so we bought around eight pounds. Aunt Tudi and I love the local fruit and veggie stand. The old-timer who runs it looks like Quasimodo and smells like a rotten cabbage, but he's a nice enough fellow. Here's a picture of one of the huge spuds we bought. Feel the power!!

If I sold for $0.49 a pound, I'd cost $99.30, tax included. That's a big honkin' bag o'taters.

Boom

Storm's a'comin'.

Maybe a violent electrical rain event will cool this hellhole down a smidge. I'd be happy with the low 90s right now. Please just let me breathe without my lungs suffering steam burns.

Summer in SC is putrid beyond comprehension.

1985

The year I graduated.

Beautiful Barry

For the past hour or so, I've been watching my Shriekback DVD, and getting screen caps. I'm gonna post three or so a day because I can and no one is able to stop me. Yes, I'm a pathetic fan girl with no hope whatsoever. There's nothing anyone can do about it.

Blaaaahahahahah!!

So yeah, that's my beautiful Barry. I don't think I'll sleep tonight...the vampires will eat me.
